Case: We describe a 23-year-old man who had multiple recurrences of a giant cell tumor (GCT) of the third metacarpal. Initial treatments consisted of curettage without the use of an adjuvant and bone-grafting. At the time of the latest recurrence, the lesion had extended into the capitate and the trapezoid.

Methods: Three-hundred two shoulder arthroplasties were implanted utilizing a cemented, keeled glenoid component, mean clinical follow-up 8.
Purpose: This study analyzed the prevalence and clinical meaning of unexpected positive cultures (UPCs) in revision shoulder arthroplasty for causes different than infection.
Methods: Between 1976 and 2007, 107 consecutive patients with UPCs, no previous suspicion of infection, and fulfilling inclusion criteria were identified. Forty-five partial (PSA) and 62 total shoulder arthroplasties (TSA) with different preoperative diagnoses were reviewed.
Introduction: This study was conducted to determine the survival of different glenoid component designs, assess the reasons for revision surgery, and identify patient and diagnostic factors that influence this need.
Methods: Between January 1, 1984, and December 31, 2004, 1337 patients underwent 1542 total shoulder arthroplasties with 6 types of glenoid components: Neer II all-polyethylene, Neer II metal-backed, Cofield 1 metal-backed bone-ingrowth, Cofield 1 all-poly keeled, Cofield 2 all-poly keeled, and Cofield 2 all-poly pegged.
Results: Revision was required in 125 shoulders for glenoid component failure.
